When you start thinking about writing your personal statement, it can be more challenging if you’re applying for a subject which is not commonly taught in schools. Engineering is a very popular course choice with great career and development opportunities. It also has a
Today I am covering series and parallel circuits. In my last two posts I wrote about charge, current and voltage, and then about resistance. I tried to give a clear picture of what each one is and what it is not. If you have
As part of the A-level practical endorsement, and on the exam papers, you will be expected to show competence in answering uncertainties questions in physics. Uncertainties questions in physics are almost always in the context of a practical, and they tend to follow a
Electrical resistance and Ohm’s law In my last post, I wrote about a fairly extensive piece on charge, current, and voltage in electricity. I said some things have something called charge and some things do not. Like charges repel, opposite charges attract. Electrons all
Physics Practice Questions. Think of all the homework and class assignments you have been set. How many of them involve working through exam questions? Some? Most? All? Chances are, if you’re studying Physics A-level or GCSE you’ve been set work that includes previous
What is Electricity? A lot of students struggle with this topic and just like with many topics, the problem lies within the foundational understanding. A student may be struggling with how voltage and current behave in series and parallel circuits but has not noticed that
A different person A bit of a grand claim I know, but it is true. After reading this, you will be a different person. But, there is a trick. Even if you didn’t read this, you would still be a different person. Imagine the
When the COVID-19 coronavirus crisis hit, many of my students were excited by the sudden shift to online learning. “We don’t have to go to school!” they exclaimed—and teaching in sweatpants didn’t sound too bad to me, either. Fast forward a year, and their
Implicit differentiation is one of the types of derivatives used widely in differentiation calculus is a sort of derivative in which the derivative of the equation must be determined. Differentiation calculus is a type of calculus that is mainly used to find the rate
Physics Coursework What have Special Relativity, Newton’s laws and electromagnetic induction got in common? They would have all scored poorly if they were entered as physics coursework at sixth-form. It matters not a bit that they were pioneering, ground-breaking physics; in the context
Completing a titration calculation This is the third post in my series on moles. This one covers performing a titration calculation. You can click here to see part one and part two. In this post, we look at how to use a titration result
Part 2 of 3 on moles Today’s blog post will be the second part of a three-part series on a Chemistry topic called moles. I wrote the first part called ‘What is a Mole?’ recently and I would suggest reading that first, but essentially
